Mental Health Resources
A website directory that provides listings of therapists and counselors in a region. You can change regions if you would like. The listings have the provider profiles so you can learn about the provider. The listings also reflect if they offer in-person and/or care through online/phone. Listings also reflect prices and accepted insurances and payment plan considerations. Providers generally seem to offer a brief free consultation which can be an opportunity to introduce yourself, see if they can help in your circumstances, and if payment considerations align. This is NOT covered by OHIP.
